Monday Meal Planning

The longer I have been cooking for my family, the easier it has
become to throw a meal together without having to head to the grocery store.
It feels like a victory when I look in the refrigerator and come up with
something from the veggies I have on hand. This recipe was born on a
Friday night when I felt panicked as the dinner hour approached and I still
didn't knowwhat's for
dinner?! I had ground beef and suggested tacos, but Justin reminded
me we had just had tacos. I thought about meatloaf, but meatloaf seems
like a weeknight meal to me. Then I opened the veggie drawer in my
refrigerator and saw that I had zucchini. And it was zucchini burgers for
the win! Healthy and yummy.

But, the real delicious part came when I wanted to reheat the
leftover veggie burgers two nights later without drying them out. I
remembered my mom wrapping burgers in bacon to reheat them while keeping them
juicy, so I shot her a text to get her steps on the reheating process.
And they turned out beautifully. Not dry at all, still full of
flavor, and get this. All three of my boys ate them! Hooray for me!
Going into the weekly rotation, those burgers are.
